Another TSX family!!

Auto/Blk/Blk/Navi.

I picked up on last Thursday!! What a B-E-A-UTIFUL!! car!!
rides very quite & smooth!! and the Navigation kicks ass!!!!!!!!!
just wish it was a V6 and 20 more HP....but still nice though. And other problem is RATTLES!!! I can hear rattles coming from the Center console, may be inside of navigation, and both front doors or windows, I only had this car for Three days!! but I hear RATTLES?!?!?!?!? What should I do?

And here is a question for all ya TSXERS!!!
Five of my friends, each of them owns IS300(Auto), RX-8(Auto), Lincoln Aviator(Auto), Audi A4 1.8(Auto) and Accord EX V6(Auto), if I race each one of them....result?
Can I beat any of them?

Congrats on your new ride. For your pix, you need to have them hosted then use the [-IMG] [/IMG-] tags without the '-'. funny how you mentioned racing and everyone drives an auto... you'll have to look up the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for all the cars mentioned...Car and Driver, Motor Trend, etc usually has those times in the back of the mag

Do a search for rattles. That will give you plenty of reading material. Rattles are the major complaint with our cars.

My buddys RX-8, it's not the stick shift...but it was good enough to kill TSX...Tomorrow...it's gonna be TSX VS IS300....I beat him once with my CL, but can I do it again with my TSX? that is the question.

the rx 8 auto is actually rated lower then the rx8 stick in hp and torque numbers so this is believable.
And if hes racing automatic i would think it would be his prerogative like bobby brown said.
One last comment just because your car is MANUAL TRANNY does not make you Fast or Furious.
Racing is a derivative of driving if you suck at driving even knowing how to shift and press and release a clutch does not make you Mario Andretti. It proves you know how to drive stick.
just my 2 cents

I drive an auto and still can hold my own.


But when I did have a stick I did feel like Mario Andretti

Well objectively the M3 is better, but you could get TWO TSXes for that price.

Sorry, I'm with FG if you had a choice between the 2 and price was not an issue don't tell me you would be driving a TSX.

Don't get me wrong I would not give up my TSX (execpt for an M3 or a ford gt40 ).

The fact that the auto RX8 hs less hp and torque numbers is irrelevant. POWER to WEIGHT and GEARING is what matters when straight line speed in concerned.

Don't shake you're finger at me. Notice how I said that even objectively the M3 was better? I did note that it was 2x as much though, whigh would impact why it's better.

Easy, don't get all uptight. It is just my opinion. Don't take it so serious.

Besides if I really didn't agree with what you said I wouldn't be driving a TSX.

I'm just saying that you didn't understand what I'm saying, and I wasn't angry at all.

Thanx Creaminz.

I agree, I haven't seen one milano red TSX on the road or my dealership yet. I think it is the rarest color I'm kinda jealous.

Thanks guys! Yeah, I love the color. Every time I see it it impresses me. I was a fan of the Topaz Blue on our Z3, but I wasn't in awe of it like the Milano red. We ordered ours and I think waited something like 9 weeks for it.

Yeah, well originally I wanted the blue with parchment, but knowing that wasn't available, I went to the red. Boy, am I glad that I did. PLEASE don't anyone take this as offense (REALLY!) I was driving down 280 and was looking at a CG TSX and just kind of felt bad about it. It just didn't seem special relative to all the other cars on the road. I know I'm going to get flamed over this, please don't, I'm just stating what I felt about it. I realize you guys like the neutral black, grey, silver cars that far and away take the #1 set of colors of cars on the market, and that's fine and I'm glad you like it.
